This isn't a come-on. I'm in a very serious relationship with a landscape architect.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Cycled to the PO, where there's already a holiday-sized line. Then to TJ's. Saw a location scouting crew from Universal on the way.

mini-rant: Given that they're devout Catholics, I should know they've already got cognitive dissonance down cold so I shouldn't really be surprised by my parents. But I still can be surprised, somehow.

Mom: "We don't call it 'rent', we call it your 'share'."

Me: "If it were my 'share', then my adult brother & sister who also live here would also be paying their 'share'."

Luckily, she didn't go off on me at that point. Which my dad probably would have. Blind spots so big you could fit the Spruce Goose in them.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Me: Mom, can you look online at the weather and see how long we have before I have to be worried about snow?

Mom of Cass: Yes, but first I want to watch you put on your socks.

Fair enough.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Damn, those things are sock porn.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I have a pair of those on RIGHT NOW AIFG! I'm actually going to derby, though.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Spidra, I am shaking my head and thinking some very, very bad words at your parents right now. Charge rent or don't, fine, but be consistent and fair. Or, a maxim that came up again and again this weekend - do whatever you want, just don't be an asshole about it.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

I am trying to figure out how to deal with rage and anxiety without letting Tom know I have rage and anxiety.

Maybe go to bed?

Maybe.

Or take a shower?

A walk?

Take a book to "read quietly"?

Ugh, trying to deal with rage and anxiety while hiding rage and anxiety sucks.

Compassionately intolerant

Ugh, trying to deal with rage and anxiety while hiding rage and anxiety sucks.

No kidding. I recommend a long bath/shower. I like to imagine the rage and anxiety melting away...that is, when I'm not screaming at the person/thing I'm enraged about in my head.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Oh Nora. That's so hard, and I'm sorry for the need to do it. No advice, just hugs.

not your mom's socks.

my motivation must be out shopping. gah. I still need to write some words today.

So looking forward to the second half of this week. Somewhat bemused by the possible outcomes of HKF trying to show her new doll to Mal, and Mal realizing that this doll is not in any way weaponized. Yet. It does now have a sparkly sleeping bag that didn't cost whatever the branded ones cost. And I tried a very little quilting, which was fun. HKF went full King-of-Cake over this fabric. [link]
